Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Viral Posters! Scott Caldwell, August 6, 2010August 26, 2010 With the release of the film just a handful of days away, and already a giant Comic-Con buzz surrounding Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, creating a viral campaign honestly was never needed.

Keep reading to see what character is being used to sell the film in movie poster format.

A pretty late entry to the marketing, especially considering TV spots are the usual last week attack, but I don’t see there being a problem.
